Hyperglance: Up to 1000 Resources [Pay as you go]
Makes Complex Cloud Infrastructure Easy to Understand
An easier way to understand our cloud setup and find unnecessary costs
Hyperglance Makes Cloud Infrastructure Visualization Effortless
Automated cloud mapping has replaced manual diagrams and now saves hours every sprint
What is our primary use case?
I use Hyperglance for multi-account AWS infrastructure mapping, network dependency visualization, and compliance hygiene. I use it to maintain live topology diagrams across client member accounts and catch orphaned resources such as unattached EBS volumes and idle Elastic IPs.
How has it helped my organization?
Before Hyperglance, my team at Accenture India spent hours every sprint manually redrawing architecture diagrams in Visio or Lucidchart for client reviews. Those diagrams were outdated the moment our CI/CD pipelines deployed changes. Hyperglance runs in our shared-services VPC and maps everything automatically across 40+ AWS member accounts using IAM cross-account roles. It completely removed the manual diagramming chore and helped us spot misconfigured route tables and security groups before client audits.
What is most valuable?
The self-hosted deployment is the biggest advantage for us. Because the appliance runs entirely on an EC2 instance inside our VPC, no configuration data or credentials leave our boundary, which made InfoSec sign-off easy with strict banking clients. The graph visualization is also great. Clicking an EC2 instance to immediately trace its ENIs, security groups, route tables, and connected VPC endpoints makes network troubleshooting much faster than clicking around the AWS console. Linking AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) directly to visual nodes is also very handy for tagging audits.
What needs improvement?
The web canvas gets sluggish when rendering large accounts with 5,000+ resources simultaneously unless I apply account or VPC filters first. Also, the embedded PostgreSQL database on the appliance can fill up disk space quickly in environments with heavy autoscaling, so I had to manually expand our EBS volume. Having built-in disk retention alerts in the UI and a more intuitive visual builder for custom rules would be great improvements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for 1-2 years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used manual tools like Lucidchart and Visio alongside custom Python/Boto3 scripts and AWS Config. I switched because manual diagrams couldn't keep pace with fast cloud deployments, and maintaining custom scripts across dozens of accounts became an unnecessary overhead.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Make sure to factor in the underlying EC2 compute and EBS storage costs alongside the Marketplace license. For multi-account workloads, don’t run it on the smallest instance. Give it at least an m5.xlarge and 100 GB gp3 volume so the database runs smoothly. The license cost usually pays for itself quickly once you use the waste-detection rules to delete idle IPs and abandoned snapshots.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated Lucidscale and a few SaaS-based CSPM platforms. I chose Hyperglance because our enterprise client policies strictly prohibited external third-party SaaS engines from scanning their environments. Hyperglance’s self-hosted, agentless model was the cleanest fit.
What other advice do I have?
Deploy your cross-account IAM roles using CloudFormation StackSets across your AWS Organization from day one instead of adding accounts manually. Also, keep the appliance in a private subnet behind an internal ALB or VPN since it holds a full map of your cloud architecture.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Clear Visibility, Steeper Learning Curve.
Beyond visibility, it helps with cost control — its cost optimization insights help identify and terminate unused resources, contributing to cloud cost savings — and with security/compliance, since it runs real-time scanning and automated compliance monitoring to surface misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and excessive IAM access
